[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 852307"] To be clear, the NFL rules state that "no offensive player may [B]pull[/B] a runner in any direction at any time." That's good for a 10 yard penalty. There is no prohibition in the NFL against a teammate[B] pushing [/B]a runner. I don't remember a time when this wasn't legal. I don't have any paricular issue with it. Consider it a bit of ancient football DNA. ;) "Assisting the Runner" is addressed at 12.1.4 in the NFL rule book on page 45 where illegal [B]pulling[/B] is referenced: [URL]https://operations.nfl.com/media/3831/2019-playing-rules.pdf[/URL] There are circumstances where it is illegal to push a teammate, also referenced on that page 45. I have no idea what the rules might be in college or high school. [/QUOTE]
